Kerry fleshes out blueprint for troop withdrawal from Iraq

Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry said he would set three conditions for withdrawing US troops from Iraq if he were elected, and warned that President George W. Bush might cut troop numbers ahead of the November 2 vote.

In an interview with the The Wall Street Journal, Kerry said the conditions were "to measure the level of stability" in Iraq, "to measure the outlook for the stability to hold" and "to measure the ability ... of their security forces" to defend Iraq.

Until each condition is satisfied, Kerry said, "I will provide for the world's need not to have a failed state in Iraq."full article

'I will provide...' Now he thinks he's Jesus or something. And those three conditions he lists? Just translate those to 'the United States will be in Iraq forever.' Democrats, are you SURE you want this guy? This careless and cynical 'Anyone But Bush' nonsense has really backfired.
